Like humans, every tree has its own microbiome, a new study has found

news.ycombinator.com Alexa Robles-Gil 2025-10-09 23:21:38

So is the inside of a tree, it turns out. Earlier this month, a team of scientists published the most comprehensive study of the microbiomes living inside tree trunks. Their findings suggest that the woody tissues of trees contain a trillion microbial cells above and beyond actual tree cells: communities of bacteria and si

Matmul on Blackwell: Part 2 – Using Hardware Features to Optimize Matmul

In the first blog post in this series we explained Nvidia's Blackwell GPU architecture and concluded with a 4 line kernel that was a bit worse than cuBLAS. In fact, the performance was a lot worse coming in at 0.3% of cuBLAS and leaving 1758 TFLops on the table. In this post we are going to continue our journey and improve our performance by more than 50x our initial kernel benchmark. Along the way we are going to explain more GPU programming concepts and leverage novel Blackwell features. Note

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google Nest speakers are neat little utility tools that let you holler at Google Assistant anywhere in the house — add something to your shopping list before it slips your mind or run the Roomba in a certain room. They’re so handy that a lot of us just grab Nest Minis by the dozen and place them across our homes so that we can call Assistant from literally anywhere.

This year's theme of "Awe dropping," which was featured in Apple's invitations to the media sent on August 26 doesn't reveal much by way of clues, though some think the heat-mapped Apple logo is indicative of better thermal cooling in the new models.
